Hello! I'm Leon and I'm passionate about all things data. I enjoy analysing data of different types, exploring new technologies, and building projects that make a difference and improve social wellbeing.

Outside of work, I'm a keen tennis player and you'll see me regularly at the local cafe and yoga studio. I'm studying Vietnamese (xin chào) and have studied Spanish and Indonesian in the past. I've travelled extensively in Europe, Asia and South America and have a Jack Russell named Darcy .
